Subject[PATCH] [24/50] x86_64: Eliminate result signage problem in asm-x86_64/bitops.h
Date

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
The return type of __scanbit() doesn't match the return type of
find_{first,next}_bit(). Thus when you construct something like
this:

boolean ? __scanbit() : find_first_bit()

you get an unsigned long result if "boolean" is true, and a signed
long result if "boolean" is false.
